Keynote
The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI
Join us for a transformative session focused on integrity in education. Drs. Rettinger and Bertram Gallant will explore research insights into why students engage in cheating and discuss effective strategies to address these challenges. Learn how to reduce the influence of peers and instructor effects, enhance intrinsic motivation, and minimize opportunities for dishonesty. Participants will find at least one actionable idea to implement in their own context. Their goal is to inspire attendees to rethink responses to cheating—before, during, and after it occurs—creating a more honest and supportive academic environment for everyone.
Workshop
This workshop will build on the lessons learned in the keynote with hands on application. Participants should come prepared to focus on one of their courses (bring syllabus and assessment prompts) and to choose one of the following strategies for teaching for integrity in the age of AI to explore further:
- communicating with students;
- crafting a GenAI & AI Policy;
- revisiting course learning outcomes;
- revising an assessment; or
- responding to suspected GenAI misuse.
Participants will leave the workshop ready to implement at least one strategy immediately and a plan for rolling-out other strategies over time.
